This Saturday, May 17th, all tracks lead to Walt Disney’s boyhood hometown of Marceline, Missouri, where Disney magic meets locomotive love! D23 members who are part of the “All Aboard to Walt Disney’s Marceline” event (and everyone else) visiting Marceline on May 17th are invited by MouseMingle.com – the dating site for Disney fans – to pull into the “Whistle Stop” ‘brake room’ at 113 N. Main Street USA, right across from Marceline City Hall.

Whether you’re a Disney dating hopeful, a D23 member, a Walt Disney fan, or simply a railfan, you’re welcome to take a “brake” at the Whistle Stop. From noon to 6pm guests can relax at the tables and chairs set up in the historic building for this special pop-in event. Guests can enjoy some free snacks, drinks, fresh popcorn, plus a fun photo display and slideshow featuring Walt Disney and his lifelong love of trains.

MouseMingle.com founder Dave Tavres will be “on board” throughout the day to chat with guests. As a former Disneyland Railroad Engineer, history Tour Guide, and host of Walt Disney’s Apartment above the Firehouse on Main Street in Disneyland, Dave brings a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes magic and stories. Visitors can ask questions, share memories, and maybe even hear the inside track on Walt’s train-tastic passions.

“Walt Disney’s imagination was always full steam ahead,” says Tavres. “And Marceline is where so much of that journey started. We wanted to create a space where Disney fans could connect, rest their caboose, and celebrate the legacy Walt left on both the rails and our hearts.”

So, whether you’re traveling solo or coupled like train cars, make sure to whistle your way over to the Whistle Stop, where love, laughter, and locomotives all share the same track. Toot toot! We’ll save you a seat at the station.

Marceline, MO – April 15, 2025 – MouseMingle.com, the dating site for Disney fans, recently rolled out a significant update to the messaging experience for mobile users. The change makes reading and sending messages between members similar to text and instant messaging tools that people are familiar with on their mobile devices. This simple redesign is the most recent change to the service, with more changes planned throughout this year.

MouseMingle launched in December 2015 to an incredible outpouring of interest and passion for all things Disney. During that first week MouseMingle was mentioned on Conan O’Brien, The Tonight Show, The View, NPR, and Saturday Night Live. The service was wonderfully overwhelmed by single Disney fans joining the site to find their Mickey or Minnie. Over the next few years many people found someone who loved Disney, Star Wars, Pixar, and Marvel as much as they did – and many dates, weddings, and MouseMingle babies were born. “Unlike most other interests listed on dating sites, Disney is a lifestyle for some people. The legacy of Disney has been happiness and fun, and the people who love Disney want that same magic in their relationships.” said Dave Tavres, managing director and founder of the site.

One substantially notable difference between MouseMingle and the corporate-owned dating sites out there, is that MouseMingle.com never has and never will create fake profiles to lure and deceive people into subscribing. In fact, any profile that is reported as fake, or that doesn’t adhere to classic “Disney standards” is suspended and removed from the service. Dave said, “I was always frustrated by dating sites when someone seemed interesting, or they showed interest in me, just to figure out it was a profile created by the company to get me to subscribe or keep coming back.” In the online dating industry, it’s a common practice to fabricate profiles and have them flirt as a way to bolster traffic and revenue. MouseMingle will never do that.

After five years of processing subscriptions for MouseMingle, the payment processor we used suddenly and without notice or reason, suspended payments for the dating site, almost killing the entire service. This year we’re looking forward to making the experience better for MouseMinglers. An overall look-and-feel update, as well as adding some new features and tweaks to existing functionality to keep plussing the service for Disney fans who are looking for a Park Pal, friendship, dating, or marriage.

MouseMingle exists to help people who love Disney find someone who loves being happy and having fun!

Anaheim, CA | November 14th, 2017 — MouseMingle.com has kicked off a worldwide series of MouseMingle Movie Meetups. The Disney / Star Wars / Marvel niche dating site is coordinating with MouseMingle fans from around the globe to bring MouseMingle members together to enjoy dinner and a movie within a group setting. These events will begin with the highly anticipated Disney/Pixar Film ‘Coco’. The idea is simple – members will gather at selected theaters and meet up with volunteer MouseMingle Guides before the movie to help connect the group. After the movie the group will move to a nearby eatery to grab a bite to eat and mingle with other fans.

“We’re excited to help people connect on MouseMingle.com, but also in person. And since there aren’t Disney Parks in every city and state, this is an easy way to bring people together.”

Members can RSVP to the meetup in their area on MouseMingle.com’s event page (www.mouse.fans/events). If members are interested in becoming a host or hostess for a meetup in their area, they can contact MouseMingle on the events page.

For the “Coco” Movie Meetup, over 100 locations were suggested by MouseMinglers from around the world. The following locations are currently taking RSVP’s for the “Coco” MouseMingle Movie Meetup:

Austin, TX Beaverton, OR Birmingham, MI Boston, MA Burbank, CA Charlotte, NC

Chicago, IL Cincinnati, OH Coronado, CA Edina, MN Fort Lauderdale, FL Hanover, MD

Lake Buena Vista, FL Las Vegas, NV Los Angeles, CA New York, NY Orange, CA Sheffield, UK Tempe, AZ

The number of Meetup events are expected to increase with the release of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi“. Dave Tavres, founder of MouseMingle, adds: “We’re especially excited for the Meetups around Star Wars and Marvel movies. When you get groups of diehard fans together it’s always a great time – then throw in the idea that you might meet someone who’s just as into lightsabers or arc reactors as you are… that’s just not something you find on other sites.”

MouseMingle.com was founded in 2015 by Dave Tavres, a former Disneyland Tour Guide who, after years of searching other dating sites for someone who shared his love of Disney, came up with the concept of the dating site for Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel fans. MouseMingle is the place for people to connect who love Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel, and want that same magic in their relationship. The site’s tagline is: “Find Your Mickey Or Minnie.”
